Send a postcard! Want to say “hello” from abroad? Send a postcard!Beautiful scenes, wild animals, excellent buildings, silly pictures, wonderful handwriting—you can find them all in one place. Where? On a postcard!Have people always sent postcards? No. Before postcards, people like to send letters in envelopes.The idea for the first decorated postcard was first patented （取得专利) in 1861. Sending a simple postcard with decorations would be a great way to send a note. Then in the early days, postcards with pictures appeared. By law, people had to write their note on the front—on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided back postcard. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the address on the right. During the early 1900s, the golden age of postcards, picture postcards became a craze（风靡一时）of the world. In 1908, Americans alone mailed over 677 million postcards. Today, postcards are the third most popular collection in the world after stamps and coins.46.

He got lung cancer when he was sixty years old. He only had six months to live. His chance for recovery was 1 in 500. He lived in Baldwin Street, in New Zealand, a very special street in the world. What he did with cancer was also special.He could see the worry, depression and anger in his life. He wondered, “If illness can be caused by negativity（消极性）, can wellness be created by positivity（积极性）?”He decided to make an experiment of himself. Laughing was one of the most positive activities he knew. He watched all the funny movies he could find. He read funny stories. He enjoyed talk shows and cross talks. He asked his friends to call him whenever they said, heard or did something funny. And he also told jokes to his friends and his family. He even built a club called “Laugh and life”.At first, his pain was so great that he could not sleep. Then, he found laughing for 10 minutes could relieve the pain（减轻疼痛）for several hours so he could sleep.He fully recovered from his illness and lived another 20 happy and healthy years in the end. He thought his success was because of the love of his family and friends, and laughing.So, if you like laughing, do it as often as you can in your life. If youdon’t like laughing, then take your medicine—laugh anyway.51. Where did Trump live?A. In Baldwin Street.B. In New Street.C. In Wall Street.52.

Activities are useful.EThere are at least two methods. Induction (归纳法)(as described by Darwin), or deduction（演绎法）(as described by Einstein). Both methods can produce amazing results. But only when you know which “direction” to go.The steps are the same. They include:Theory（理论）=Explaining how things workExperiment=A way to test what’s happeningObservation=Something you noticeTogether, these are called the scientific method.Should you start from the “bottom” by collecting information and facts to prove and seeing where that leads you? That’s induction. Charles Darwin（1809-1882）supported this method. He spent years observing the appearance and behavior of animals in different places. From this, he created his theory of natural selection：animals and plants can change because of their environment.Or should you start from the “top” by creating a theory and then seeing how it stands up in real life? That’s deduction. Albert Einstein （1879-1955）was king here. He began with brave ideas. These theories often took years to prove by experiment. A few of Einstein’s ideas are still being examined.In history, scientists have been solving problems using different methods. For example, while studying bacteria（细菌）, Fleming found that something on bread could kill bacteria harmful to human health. This led him to discover a new medicine. Newton suggested that all objects attract each other. His idea was proved later.So which way is better? That depends. Some researchers do experiments, and only later consider where their results may lead them. That’s ind uction. But deduction needs you to suggest a theory that may or may not be supported by the information and facts. The best scientists are always ready to change methods when necessary.56. How many steps are there in the scientific method?A. 2.B.3.C. 4.57. Deduction needs you to start from the ________.A. “bottom”B. “middle”C. “top”58. Fleming used ________ to discover a new medicine.A. inductionB. deductionC. theories59. The last paragraph（段）tells us ________.A. which way is betterB. to get more factsC. to use proper methods60. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Deduction and induction.B. Darwin and Fleming.C. Theory and experiment.第四部分写作技能（共三节，满分35分）第一节双向翻译（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据上下文内容，将文中画线部分译成汉语或者英语。
